Opening of the new Torqeedo headquarters
On November 11, 2022, the German motor manufacturer Torqeedo, a specialist in electric motors for boats and part of the Deutz Group, opened its new headquarters near Munich. The 8,300 square meter building houses administration, research and development, and production. The Bavarian company has the support of the local authorities, which see it as an extension of their investments in the ecological transition.
Fabian Bez, recently appointed CEO of Torqeedo, sees this as a tool for further development of the company. "Torqeedo recognized this trend early on and developed battery electric propulsion systems for boats. Today, we are the world's technology leader for emission-free mobility on the water. We will soon produce our two hundred thousandth electric motor and have already filed over 250 patents. Electric mobility on the water, "Made in Germany"-this is what Torqeedo will continue to stand for in the future."
An efficient and responsible industrial tool
Torqeedo's new headquarters allows it to simplify its industrial logistics. In designing the new location, the company was also able to implement its environmental objectives, as Fabian Bez points out: "The new facility has allowed us to implement lean manufacturing strategies that reduce waste, improve product quality and prepare the company for continued rapid growth. Torqeedo's production lines were previously spread across three remote facilities, but with the new production hall, all lines are now run side by side."
